BUFFALO BILL CRAZE.
The PRINCESS of Wales Visits the
Yankeeries at Night Incog.

The PRINCESS of Wales Visits the
Yankeeries at Night Incog.
A London letter to the Philadelphia Press
says: have already referred to the manner
In which Minister Phelps has openly opposed
the American Exhibition. He actually re-
fused to even see some of the managers, al
though they had personal letters of intro
duction to him from such men as Speaker
Carlisle and Secretary Bayard. After ig-
noring the exhibition on the opening day,
after publishing in the London newspaper
an offensive notice to the public, intimating
that the managers were trying to sail under
false colors, and after openly antagonizing
this enterprise in every possible way, he
has now seen fit to visit it. And why!
Because royalty has made it the proper
thing. l am glad to hear that some of
the directors refused to be presented to Mr.
Phelps 1t is a great pity that we have not
larger and more imposing display of ex-
hibits. Crowds of people are attracted to
the "Yankeeriesn every day by Buffalo Bill,
who has for the moment become a craze.
Nearly all of the visitors take walk around
the exhibition. 1t would have been a rare
chance for exhibitors. 1t is not too late
now. The art department is exceedingly
good and attracts many admiring visitors.
Upon the whole the exhibition and Buffalo
Bill attachment is novel show, and will be
great success financially. 1t might have
been as big a success as an exhibition Of
American industry had the right spirit been
shown, and had not the American Legation
waged constant and open hostility against it,
ARIsToCRACY AND THE COWBOYS.
Buffalo Bill. OF Colonel, the Hon w. F.
Cody, as he is called here, has taken Lon
don by storm. He is the guest of the aris-
tocracy, and on Sunday am told he will
dine with Albert Edward himself. While
the future King of England and the noble
peers of the realm are hobnobbing with the
Hon. Mr.. Cody. Col. Burke, Orator Rich
mond and Red Shirt baronets and knights
are glad enough to secure the genial cow
boy to dine with them and meet their fami-
lies. | was told yesterday of an amusing
scene witnessed by an American gentleman.
An English baronet, with single eye glass
and very English accent, was asking a couple
of cowboys TO dine with him.
BE kind enough to give me your cards"
said the Baronet
"Well, to tell the truth, replied the rather
embarrassed young men, I'VE haven't got
any,
ooh, never mind; mere formality cards
are, you know. Not necessary at all, my
dear boys Lady F-will be delighted to
meet you. What are your engagements for
the week."
The two young fellows looked at each
other and said; "Most any night would suit
us, guess"
Delighted, you know Well, say Fri
day night. We shall expect you Friday
night. Quite informal. Never mind dress
suits"
The two cowboys went and l have no
doubt behaved very nicely, but it will be
surprising if the fuss being made over them
here does not spoil some of them.
For the moment the cowboys have the
town and the royal family. There is hint
here for travelling Americans this year.
Lay in a stock OF broad-brimmed white
hats, let your hair grow long and don't be
too aesthetic. The pendulum has swung to
the other extreme. In place of Oscar Wilde
we have Buffalo Bill. Honors are easy
England gave US the former; we have given
England the latter.
ALExANDRA's ADVENTURE.
One other incident in connection with the
yanlzeeries and have done. Her Royal
